Benchmarks

In this test, we checked out the difference between the 3 boards, the Gigabyte EP45 Extreme, ASRock P43R1600Twins-WiFi and the ASRock X48TurboTwins-WiFi. The boards are running the ATi Radeon HD 4850 graphics card with an Intel QX9770 processor.

Using CPU-Z, we checked the CPU Clk, the Gigabyte EP45 Extreme was clocking at 400.1MHz while the ASRock P43RTwins-WiFi is slightly o/c at 400.3MHz  and the ASRock X48TurboTwins-WiFi clocks at 400.0.

Both the Gigabyte GA-EP45 Extreme and ASRock P43R1600Twins-WiFi runs a pair of Kingston DDR2-1100 module at DDR2-1066 @ C5-7-7-24-2T while the X48TurboTwins-WiFi runs a pair of Kingston DDR3-1800 module at DDR3-1600 @ C7-7-24-2T.

From the chart, it can be seen that the Gigabyte GA-EP45 Extreme though running the same ram timings as the ASRock P43 board, the memory bandwidth is much lower. This is probably because the of the BIOS settings on F5E. Would this affect performance of other memory intensive applications. Let's read on.
